Masque

The masque was a form of festive courtlyentertainment that flourished in 16th- and early 17th-century Europe, though it was developed earlier in Italy, in forms including the intermedio (a public version of the masque was the pageant). A masque involved music and dancing, singing and acting, within an elaborate stage design, in which the architectural framing and costumes might be designed by a renowned architect, to present a deferential allegory flattering to the patron. Professional actors and musicians were hired for the speaking and singing parts. Often, the masquers who did not speak or sing were courtiers: King James I's queen consort, Anne of Denmark, frequently danced with her ladies in masques between 1603 and 1611, and Henry VIII and Charles I performed in the masques at their courts. In the tradition of masque, Louis XIV danced in ballets at Versailles with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully.

Development

Masque (Kansas album)

Masque is the third studio album by Americanprogressive rock band Kansas, released in 1975. The album was reissued in remastered format on CD in 2001.

The opening track, "It Takes a Woman's Love (To Make a Man)", was remixed for release as a single, but failed to gain attention. The remix included additional guest vocals and contains segments far different from the album version. The album was remastered and issued on vinyl in 2014. It was also repackaged as Playlist: Masque, although several songs from Kansas, "The Devil Game" from Song for America, "No Room for a Stranger" from Audio-Visions, "Right Away" from Vinyl Confessions, but only "Two Cents Worth" and "All The World" from Masque appeared on the album.

While based primarily in Sudbury, the band also had collective ownership of a farm in Sturgeon Falls, where they did much of their recording.

Musical group

The group consisted of singer/guitarists André Paiement and Rachel Paiement, violinist Wasyl Kohut, guitarists Marcel Aymar and David Burt, pianist Michel Kendel, bassist John Doerr and drummer Michel Dasti. The band was formed in the fall of 1975, and performed their first concert on December 1 at La Slague in Sudbury.

Wash The Sun

The task todayWill be to bring forth laughter with dead toolsAnd thereafterThereafter we shall dance like drunken foolsDisgust is goneAnd replaced by the catch among the ryeBut I'm left, unwashedThe most important persons say goodbyeI will wash the sunWith sweat I'll wash the sunHow sad it's toReceive the strangest foreign flavours kissThe kiss of someUnknown things I now have learnt to missWhen it burnsMy lust, my god will gladly meet the heatContent. I'm washedI'm happy stirring the ashes with my feetI will wash the sunLaid back I'll wash the sun(Words: Sahlin Music: Rellmark)
